Hi John,

...

Cedric, your HoG screenshot looks great! Please keep us informed - I hope your TuneTracker transition goes smoothly!

I might get in touch off-list to take you up on your "beta testing" offer (from a while back!), my current tester has network-card issues and it might be good to broaden the test base, try out different hardware with different Nic adapters.

That sounds great! I have a couple of physical machines, plus VirtualBox, of course.

Depot Package Discoverability: Several people have mentioned that it is difficult to discover which Sculpt depot packages are available, and from where.

I am going to try to put a temporary solution in place for this, until someone develops something better. No promises on timing, but I want to bring the badly neglected "Genode Corner" [1] up to date, then add a front-end for listing / searching Depot packages.

This will probably take the form of a daily process to pull in the depot indexes, add a search page, and maybe an RSS feed system. If anyone has any implementation advice or feature requests, please let me know.

Well if it was my project (or if I was part of the implementing team ^^) I'd probably try to write the back-end script in V, as I suspect it would really fly for that kind of job : downloading/parsing an XML file and generating server-side data. The trouble is, I'm not sure how it would interact with the front-end, since it's a compiled langage (and I have extremly limited front-end experience).

I haven't looked into V yet, but I should do that. Unfortunately, I am probably stuck with PHP for now, because that's what my host provides. ;)

Thanks!
